UN Moves To World Tax – Democrats Move To Control Food
Just so we know what we are up against… if you had any doubt:
$750 billion “green” investment could revive economy: U.N.
“The opportunity must not be lost,” Steiner, head of the U.N. Environment Program (UNEP), told Reuters of a UNEP study that will be put to world leaders meeting in London on April 2 to work out how to spur the ailing economy.
The UNEP report said investments of one percent of global gross domestic product, or about $750 billion, could bankroll a “Global Green New Deal” inspired by the “New Deal” of U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt that helped end the depression of the 1930s.
“It would be almost, if not totally, unnoticed by the consumer,” he said, especially since oil prices have fallen from more than $140 a barrel at mid-2008 peaks to about $40.”
Carbon markets, which could also be a source of funds to help fight climate change, were unlikely to contribute enough cash in early years of a new climate deal, he said.
The long and short of it, is that once the UN starts taxing the world, we’re cooked. The “never let a crisis go to waste” socialist mentality is waiting to be sprung on the world.
Now that they’ve admitted that they are not content with the cap and trade market revenues, they’ll need to find all sorts of new ways to tax us.
Canada is ahead of the game on quietly taxing things for environmental reasons. That’s why a bottle of water is over a dollar at the 7/11. We may not notice all of the hidden taxes stacked up on everything we buy, but it has made us all a lot poorer.
Unfortunately, the UN has a willing partner in the new president of the US.
Next Up – check out HR 875 – coming soon:
This bill will require government-mandated licensing, chemical application and inspections for non-corporate grown food in the USA.
This destroy organic farming and your local farmer’s market, the way the proposed resolution is written, even home grown tomatoes will be illegal.
Remember the “Victory Gardens” from WWII? Well, they’d be illegal without complying with new government regulations and allowing government inspection of your home garden?!
This bill was introduced by Rosa L. DeLauro, whose husband works for Monsanto. Yes, this is the Monsanto that now pretty much owns the seed industry.
The world has gone mad.

If the UN is involved….Run like hell!
This ridiculous tax is just the thin edge of the wedge by which the UN will raise taxes at any time they like once any agreement is signed, and the signators will find that the fine print binds them to accepting the increase.
This tax will not, of course, affect any but the western democracies as everyone else will get a pass for the same reasons they got a pass on the Kyoto protocols. Since western Europe is starting to wake up to the inequities of the cap and trade debacle, the UN is slipping this in as another means of introducing their social leveling policies.
As for the Monsanto sponsored garden inspections. Anyone wanting to inspect my private garden had best be wearing body armour.

“Remember the “Victory Gardens” ….allowing government inspection of your home garden”
Let them try. There are not enough cops to enforce all the new laws they are coming up with.
The solution is simple. Ignore the laws you do not choose to obey.

So when they say global tax, is that universal or just “tax the West/Developed World ?
Ya I figured as much.
